good to have you company i'm andrey farmer the political crisis in egypt is deepening with the country's top judges rebelling against president mohamed morsi the supreme constitutional court has refused to oversee a referendum on a new draft constitution planned for two weeks time and claims prime morsy supporters have prevented them from doing their job judges declared an open ended strike late on sunday when they were supposed to rule on the legitimacy of the islamic dominated power which drafted the constitution of morsy supporters surrounded the building and stopped the judges from entering the opposition who continue their protests against what they call an oppressive regime are planning to march on the presidential palace and choose day meanwhile egypt's economy is deteriorating as economist explained to r.t. tom barton in cairo. with protests continuing around the clock both for and against a gyptian president mohamed morsi the country sick. komi is facing increasing

troubles with me to discuss this is very the time lapse an economist here in congress had a thank you for joining me think first of all tell us briefly what was really going on when the stock market pull on which to over a week on hearing most is announcement in the next decade the shins are still small school shopping days it even coalesce around the turn first thing down this isn't mutual have and this is the last is most of the funny outgoing he comes i am after we are going to take on food for the billionaire how would you compare egypt's economy now to walsh from the. father stages that a company was somewhat steve leung that mubarak. was sixty five on six at sinful bank now we'll still down fifteen point five billion dollars and this is a huge cut that with his own hand in fact the impulse and all of it affects

investors no one will come to invest anything in here in egypt to do these e's so if we are faced with six to. a large unemployment thing to do is to add also six too soon we are going if it was it you would. kill this continues to be or lose would egypt this would affect all six to sort of egypt business would be shocked at our feet now we are divided between two parts that is the point is a political force in one hand and muslim brotherhood in as one hand whom we are all in the body this is the six with dread to think you it seems that the egyptian people don't agree on much these days one of the few things they do agree on is that egypt's economy needs to get back on the right track and as soon as possible. russia and turkey will try to shield growing economic and trade ties from a widening rift over the syrian. in fact as president putin visits bull to which

leads calls for international action on the conflict in strongly backs the opposition has asked night to deploy patriot missiles at its border with syria moscow says the move will only provoke more tension artie's it in the now reports. russian president loves it which was quite extensive agenda for his visit in the sun full of course a lot of documents are expected to be signed concerning the cultural and economic cooperation between russia and turkey but it's not so much the issues which the two countries are agreeing on this the issues on which i was going for i had sort of disagreements about which will be the focus of the meetings of course these are mostly dealing with gaza and the us about that its recent conflict with israel and of course the issue with syria now you have to remember that uncle rod has just recently filed an official petition to nato which was dietrich missiles on the border with syria turkey says that it's afraid our possible spillover from the

civil unrest in its closest neighboring countries into the produce territory but russian army adamant that putting weapons on the border with other countries. use possibility of those weapons actually being used in the search which was employed by the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov the boys these are expected to be the liberians used to security issues in the region to be discussed by those with in moscow has been increasingly critical of the seeming determination of increasingly supporting the conflict in syria which has been raging on for almost two years to now carl has expressed it said disapproval a lot of the current. president bush are all of us and on many occasions it has openly supported the syrian opposition and this latest move with the patriot missiles on its border seems to be another. all stuck on clause terminations to sever all. good relations with the damascus that he used to enjoy. now on

and i'm president of new the u.k. and france are reportedly considering recalling their ambassadors from israel the move could come after israel's approval of three thousand more settler homes on disputed land. while the u.n. chief warn the construction plans would deal an almost fatal blow to any hope of peace the move would effectively cut off palestinians there from the rest of the west bank israel announced the expansion of settlements after a un vote upgraded palestine to a nonmember observer state it also shut down cash flows to the palestinians it collects around one hundred million dollars in taxes and customs duties israeli academic mid east and told my colleague kevin zero in that state hood should be achieved through page talks. the majority of israelis including the scudder move by the way have stated clearly that they'd like to see palestine independent and both

of us understand that there is a difference between saying palestine independent and doing it on your own with the united nations without israel as a partner as if saying that the impediment is just the state that's here let's do this hand in hand without negotiations without us as a partner to do a one sided to impose it on israel and they feel the strong need to give a response as an israeli i can say that has to do with domestic politics personally i don't necessarily adhere to that stop i think you've heard a lot of criticism here in israel in linking it in such a way that is also about politics but of course israel maybe not helping them out on top of the the settlements israel is also announced is not going to hold over a hundred million dollars of aid to the palestinians to pay back debts to israeli companies is that really an option when of course you've got the world's largest refugee populations on your doorstep well that refugee population is something that needs to be taken care of in any case but i'm looking at these. as part of the last

four years the decision that was made on thursday from my point of view as an israeli was anti israel not just pro palestinian i want to see something which is a win win situation one that's both pro palestinian that goes towards an independent state not just in rhetoric and not just in fact rationed but in actuality and to do so those same palestinians kevin house to come back to the negotiation table for the last four years they have refused to do so they've refused time and again and we're all aware of that it was one of the main reasons that the forty states who did abstain from the vote on thursday did so because of that rejection of israel it isn't just about being pro palestine it's also about accepting israel here and that's where we need to go. you're watching and in the next few minutes we report on a revolution in the british welfare system that seems to form flat as the latest figures reveal the multibillion provide long term jobs for the unemployed simply

more news today violence has once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. the giant corporations are all today claim. hello welcome back a miserable failure that is how the opposition described the british government program to reduce unemployment the five billion pound plan aimed at encouraging private firms to take up the long term jobless help just about three percent of those who signed up for it r.t. sarah firth explains. some months now twenty five year old jay paxton's been

keeping a video diary about his experiences on the government's work program. usually the work programs the government's flagship scheme that pays private sector organizations to place people in work and they called it a revolution in welfare but the first figures released since its launch revealed a resoundingly failure something that hasn't surprised in the slightest. going keep his appointment now it seems pretty tightly regimented we've watched people running in all morning to keep that appointment she's been coming to this job center once a fortnight for the past six months that he's been on the government's work programme in the time he hasn't found a single job unfortunately that's not uncommon the latest figures released by the

department of work and pensions say that joe is just one of hundreds of thousands of people that is signed up to that work program he's found absolutely nothing. in fact between jeanty thousand and eleven july this year of all the people who were signed up to the work program only three point four percent were found work far below the target of five point five percent which is the number of people who find work without any sort of programme it means that p. . people like typically less likely to find it than if their own program whatsoever can you talk as he is to the last six months what has the experience been and on a daily basis with this work. well. einstein once said the definition of insanity is to do one thing. and expect a different result and after doing the same thing and getting the same results for

bright some of them have to resort. to some of the quite well skilled and they hate being told what to do and they like to take appropriate action for themselves and usually quite good at finding work for themselves. in these difficult with a work program what we see now is that in fact when you get the best of the private sector involved when you pay them lots of money they actually do worse than doing nothing at all we asked the government why the work program was pretty saying such poor results and why the figures they really seem designed to musk the chilly extent of the faith. they responded saying. it's ridiculous to suggest the work programme is not helping people into work despite being faced with their own shortcomings the things the government still doesn't want to listen to people like a telling the loud and clear i regret to inform you that on this occasion you have

our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis the world wildlife fund for nature makes regular trips to help local rangers do what little they can to stop the logging but it's not easy logger set up trucks making them hard to reach in an already rough terrain and have mastered ways to jump through legal loopholes this is a nature reserve we're only sanitary logging of disease trees is allowed according to law and not a single berry can be picked but loggers like this use their sanitary logging permit to cut down absolutely healthy trees and sell the profitable timber over the border in china we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy the forest is enormous and our chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon as we find quality tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander someone in ca has been

a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground is soft here which means that they have twelve tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quite. in order to not scare them off as we get closer. this team says they're illegal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he is overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the government now is they started city for more whole forest legislation so assumes the pals and so on we've got the new forest corp and according to. every forest
